This page is for those very lucky people who have somehow managed to score themselves the mythical 16GB AT&T Pre 3 device, and want to be able to make it impersonate a normal 8GB EU Pre 3 for the purposes of OTA updates, using the webOS Doctor and installing patches and custom kernels. Note that the device continues to have the same cellular frequency bands, and continues to have 16GB of flash.

You need to use the meta-doctor to change the tokens on the device. Others will update this page with more detailed instructions on how to do that, but the basic gist is:

This page is for those very lucky people who have somehow managed to score themselves the mythical 16GB AT&T Pre 3 device, and want to be able to make it impersonate a normal 8GB EU Pre 3 for the purposes of OTA updates, using the webOS Doctor and installing patches and custom kernels. Note that the device continues to have the same cellular frequency bands, and continues to have 16GB of flash.

You need to use the meta-doctor to change the tokens on the device:

Install "Show Properties" on your device (found in Preware) and email yourself the complete token set before you start.

This is your backup in case you make a mistake or ever want to revert the device to a 16GB AT&T Pre 3 again.

Rename "webosdoctorp220mantawr.jar" to "webosdoctorp220manta-wr-2.2.0.jar" inside the "downloads" folder which is inside "meta-doctor" This is very important as it avoids a error you might get later on.

Change the directory back to meta-doctor

cd

cd meta-doctor

In the terminal, type

make DEVICE=pre3 CARRIER=wr clobber unpack

Type

cp build/pre3-p220manta-wr-2.2.0/webOS/mantaray.xml .

The ending dot counts!

Edit mantaray.xml to set the desired tokens. See below for tokens. The .xml can be found inside the meta-doctor folder
